What should I do if my Airbnb host cannot file the TM30 for me due to being out of Thailand?

The owner can’t access the website/app overseas without a vpn. I also had the same issue and it worked once I did with VPN.

If you're staying in a condo the Juristic person can and should do the TM30 for you.

It’s been said already…. But I did it myself as well. Owner gave me copies of all the pertinent documents and his ID and I just went and did it. No issues at all.

It is the Agent/Owner's responsibly. I've never done anything shorter than a one year contract. However, on one occasion when I went to do my 90 day report, unknown to me, the agent had not reported. The immigration officer requested the agents number and called the agent directly. Informed her that due to not filing the TM30, there was a fine. The TM30 is required to be filed within 24 hours of your arrival. The agent was required to go to the immigration office on the owners behalf and correct the matter.

I am sure if you self report to the immigration office the officer will do the same, contact the agent and tell them to do their duty of reporting your stay. It is not your responsibility. Which is why immigration imposes a fine, many agents/owners do not fulfill their obligation of filing the TM30. Hold them accountable don't do their job for them or don't let them try and tell you it's your responsibility.

you ca go to immigration yourself. the owner just need to provide her id and contract. if your pushy.. try another rental that will do everything for you.

Better with the phone app.

Property manager is full of it, of course he can fill it out, he's just too lazy to go file it for you.

You can do it online if it's working

You can do it yourself, ask the owner to provide the documents to present at the immigration. The owner provides us her ID photocopy, lease agreement, proxy letter allowing us to submit it on her behalf.

The owner can give power of attorney to the manager. You can get the form at the immigration office and sent it to him.

There is an app for tm30, you can do it yourself, its easy.

ask the owner to use VPN with Thai IP to access.

I do the TM30 myself. The owner has given me copies of house owner ship paper, photo copy of their passport, with a little note saying I have permission to do the TM30.

No hassle. However, I have never gotten the website to work for me.

Not sure if this is the correct answer but I think you can actually do it yourself online



My landlord asked me to do it myself and some other posts on here also talked about this. It’s really easy. Just register and then add yourself into the system. But I have a one-year contract which I scanned in and submitted it when filing the TM30.

Please delete if this is not accurate. Just stating my own experience.

>I'm sorry to tell you that I can't open this website.Maybe because I'm not in Tailand.

Correct! The TM30 must be filed while a person is inside Thailand, and it's blocked if a person is outside of Thailand.

>What is the correct protocol?

If she does not have a hotel license (which is probable), an AirBnB may be considered illegal. If you're in Bangkok, and there's a month-to-month lease signed, you can self file the TM30.

Do you have a month-to-month lease?
